Picture Key: Narrative - Monkey

WALT: What could be happening in these pictures?  Come up with a thoughtful and creative story for each picture.

The Monkey that flew to space

 There once was a monkey named Albert he wanted to fly into space.

 Once upon a time there was a monkey named Albert who wanted to fly into space, so he made a plan to sneak out one day and fly to space, he started building a rocket that he could use to fly into space. After waiting for weeks and days to past the day he had been waiting for came, he waited until night time to sneak out he was so excited to experience what it would feel and look like in space.

 Albert sneaked out the garage silently so his owner would not hear him, of he went into his homemade rocket. After 17 minutes he got his rocket set up and ready to go into space he was so excited that he even made himself a space suit only for monkeys because in his times there were only suits just for humans. As he listened to his guider he put on his suit so when he got into space he could fly around but not just in a rocket in the outer space, he was so hyped that he even flew around in the rocket and forgot about what his guider told him to do if he went offline. A few minutes after Albert made into space, he and his guider searched for somewhere to park they flew to the moon and parked on it . Albert got out and connected his suit to the rocket so he wouldn't get lost in space, as he started exploring around in space he thought his owner would go to him but he wasn't there Albert didn't really want his owner to be worried about him so he just explored space for one hour then went back. As he went back his guider was online for about 7 minutes but went offline.

Albert was so worried he was panicking a lot but luckily he remembered that he put a poster saying "if your guider has went offline read these instructions to take you back home". He so happy that  he put that poster there, so he read the instructions very carefully and did as it said. When he made it back home he ran to his bed very quickly os his owner wouldn't notice that he was gone. His owner came and checked on him then left to go and sleep.

Albert learnt that he shouldn't do things without permission because things can go wrong.



The challenge for me was to think of a story related to this picture.





Picture Key: Narrative - Cat and Pizzas

WALT: What could be happening in these pictures?  Come up with a thoughtful and creative story for each picture.

The two Cats and Moving Pizzas in space

There once was a cat that wanted explore space.

Long long long ago, was a cat named Josephine who wanted to explore space she always planned of going with her cat friend Aliana who also wanted to explore space because they had been learning about the Solar System, they waited for days to past until they could sneak out quickly. Soon came the right day to sneak out because both their owners went on a double date and left Josephine with Aliana at home to rest. They sneaked out very quickly because they didn’t know when their owners would return home.

About 20 minutes later they made it to the rocket, they were so excited to see what it feels like to be in actual space. They listened very carefully to their guider so they wouldn't do anything wrong, as the rocket zoomed high up into space the cats were meowing loudly and happily. When they got into space they searched for somewhere to park their rocket, after they parked the rocket on a colourful planet they jumped out and started to explore the it. The colourful planet was kind of a mystery planet to them but Aliana wanted to go and explore the pizza planets so she left but Josephine stayed, after a few moments later they met each back at the rocket but there was a problem as their guider was taking them back home something bad happened their guider got cut of line because they were in space for too long.

They started panicking luckily Josephine found a book in the rocket the title was "How to fly a rocket back to Earth" they were glad that Josephine found the book so Josephine read the book to Aliana as she listened and did as it said in it. Two hours later they made it back home safely, they made it just in time they ran their fastest to bed so their owners wouldn't know where they went.

The two of them learnt how to fly a rocket back to planet Earth.


The challenge for me was to write down a story about this made up picture.

Our Puzzle Creation

Our Puzzle Creation We created a solar system puzzle

Firstly, we were given a blank piece of enlarged paper and 1/20 of a whole.

Secondly, on the blank piece of enlarged paper we had to look at the 1/20 piece of paper and then copy it onto the enlarged paper but enlarge it when you draw it so that it could fill up the whole paper.

Thirdly, we had to add a lot of detail onto it so that it could stand out. When we were done I thought it would be a mystery to see it at the end when it was put altogether.

 WALT: Use specific vocabulary
Challenge: The challenge for me was when I had to try and draw the white lines onto it.

Falakika - Inflatable

WALT:Describe an Experience

What is a Haier inflatable?

 A Haier inflatable is like an obstacle course!

 Firstly, you will feel like you are in a cannon because you will get spat out of a washing machine. In Fact it will feel pressuring and challenging for children. 

Secondly, you might feel like you are diving into a pool because you will jump into a washing machine. You will feel exhausted because you will be competing with a partner.

 Last of all, thanks Milan.
